A LEGO replica worth £4,000 of Hemsby's erosion-threatened coastline has disappeared from the former Pontins site in the village.

The model was being exhibited to the public in The Dunes development on Kings Way and staff believe it was taken during an open house on Sunday, September 15.

The display is part of a larger effort to highlight the problems facing residents of Hemsby by the Sir David Amess UK Children's Parliament, which held a meeting last week with local campaigners.

Richard Hillgrove, co-founder of the parliament, said: "The Dunes graciously allowed members of the public to view the incredible LEGO model on Friday, September 13, before the event.

"It was on view all day at the meeting on Saturday and was safe afterwards."

The Dunes are now asking for whoever took the model to return it and are treating the disappearance as "an honest accident" rather than involving the police.

The LEGO replica was due to be auctioned with proceeds going towards both Hemsby Independent Lifeboat and Save Hemsby Coastline.

The £4,000 commission was from ICONIC bricks, who hold the Guinness World Record for the world's biggest LEGO creation of the Tower of London for Land Rover.

The LEGO recreation of The Marrams was based on drone footage shot by Oliv3r Drone Photography for Save Hemsby Coastline filmed on August 30 this year.
